Ted's vision and clarity of the essential concepts he intuitively communicated to his students was inspirational to me as a long-time educator. His philosophies, life lessons, and insights have impacted the lives of countless people. A gifted teacher, Ted's calm, caring confidence earned him the trust of his students so they enthusiastically accompanied him on the journey of exploration--on a quest to gain deeper insights of themselves, others, and the world around them. Just being around Ted made one feel safe: safe to ask questions, safe to make mistakes, safe to say "I don't know." In a world filled with competition, anxiety and stress, Ted provided a calm yet exciting learning environment. A true "gentle"-man, as a mentor, Ted saw value in everyone, helped develop their individual strengths, and more importantly, taught them the difficult tasks of collaboration and teamwork. Ted has earned his angel wings a million times over & has left an undying legacy.
God speed, my friend.
